My homemade self watering tomato cages

Last year my husband Paul made me a self watering tomato cage out of PVC pipes and it is AWESOME!! Every store bought tomato cage I've ever used has failed me miserably. The "extra sturdy" kind got me "extra let down." The triangle cage, seemed to be missing something (a fourth leg.) The circle type, forget it. How they get tangled and twisted like they do is beyond me. But with this one, it is super easy- all I have to do is flip the switch on the hose and turn the water on blast. Done.

Dry honey anyone???

Dry. Honey. That's quite the oxymoron. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Neither have I.
 I found it at Woodman's on a random shelf and I just had to have it - even though I had no idea what to do with it or how much it would cost me (only $4.99!!) I don't even like honey that much (yes, I must be crazy) but I went ahead and bought this HUGE container anyway.
I think I'll sprinkle it in my tea. Maybe toss some in my morning smoothie. 
Anything other suggestions?

Bargello love...

 
These are just a couple starter samples I am working on at the moment. 
Just practicing and playing around with color, really. 
Not sure what to make out of them.
 I am thinking teeny, tiny pillows for my cat lol
